Oh.... I have 11 Standard. Maybe it's an upgrade for people running earlier versions rather than to go from 11 Std to suite. I didn't really want to fork out for the upgrade to suite anyway haha. But I'd probably bite at 30% off.

No discount email for me. Anyone else miss out?

PA cottoned on to the volume discount method being used with the tuner and has increased the price of the bx tuner to $19 You can probably still get a pretty good deal by buying six amps, combined with the loyalty voucher. $7.83 per amp with a $25 loyalty voucher if you stick to the $29 price point. Or 5 amps and AMEK 200 EQ if that deal is still going.

Edit: I see on the other thread PA has disabled dynamic discounts now so nevermind what I just wrote 😊

I've been checking these out all morning. Seem to be pretty high quality stuff. The Saturn (Soldano) makes the Helix model sound like trash.

Hah, I'm not going crazy. Their little message bubble still mentions the $199.99 crossgrade price.

Hmm yeah you're right, I didn't get an email either. Must have have been the banners on IK's site. They're different to the ones I saw earlier.

Thomannmusic.com is the one I visit, no translation required. USD too.

MODO Bass 2 Maybe there'll be a T-Racks 6 with the tapes and other new stuff (Tascam?) added. The Sunset Sound Studio and Fame reverbs are also considered T-Racks but not in any existing bundle. Anyone notice the email about this deal says crossgrade 199 but then the crossgrade is 399? And the crossgrade price is the same as the price for new customers?

I'd read previously that there had been a relationship between the United Plugins developers and Melda due to geographical proximity, I think Melda helped them out with some code sharing and website resources... but I just noticed UP is now listed as part of the Melda portfolio! https://www.unitedplugins.com/about "Thanks, Melda UnitedPlugins live and create because of the help of another strong and experienced brand MeldaProduction, in the past. The UP brand is now a proud part of MeldaProduction company portfolio."

They seem to use this as a teaser to get you to buy the LX 480 complete but I'm not sure it's a very cost effective way to do so. So have a think about whether you're sure you'll be happy to stay with the Essentials product or if you're going to upgrade down the track anyway. The upgrade seems to be $175 or so (on top of the $29 for Essentials), whereas you can get the full version straight away for $158 at Bestservice, and then upgrade to the bundle via Relab's website for a further $99 (perhaps when the upgrade is on sale, this is what I paid) https://www.bestservice.com/lx480_complete.html

bbhg2mskjdckjdnv is the upgrade code for Black Box HG-2MS that brings it down to $0.09 with the combination of JOINSOUNDWIDE and SOUNDWIDE2022. When you enter the code, it will likely add the plugin to your cart directly, so if it's already there you might end up with a cart total of $60 ish and a quantity of two. Just set it to one and it should drop back to $0.09

Cleverly priced to prevent any one using a loyalty voucher on it At that price it's great value though. I paid double this when it was on sale (maybe $37 at JRR with coupon code).

I bought the Oddity in the hope that if it generates them some revenue they might add a scalable UI in future. Probably overly naive of me.

OK so as a couple of examples you could get Purple MC77 for free, or HG-2MS for $10ish

I don't have much time but if you haven't redeemed the offer don't rush! If you add the 10% off voucher to your cart and another plugin as well you can get it really cheaply due to the dynamic discounting! It's too late for me but maybe this will help someone else. See the other post for codes etc.

As much as I might like PA's installation manager to automatically update plugins, I have a folder structure based on categories rather than companies so all the installers that want everything installed to a single folder don't work well for me - I have to move the plugins to their true homes which takes a bit of doing. That includes Arturia, NI, Melda, but XLN is the worst - they refuse to work if you move the plugins to a different folder. Ugh. Softube's allows you to override automatic installation to download installers and run them manually so that works well enough. But PA's just works.

The Weiss MM-1 is included in the Volume bundle so probably not a great one to pick up separately if you think you might ever want the bundle. One of the $299 channel strips that periodically go on sale at $99 would facilitate a cheaper upgrade price.

Haha what an odd deal. It would only make sense for $75 voucher holders. Anyone else can get it for $31 with the Forever $29 plan.

The live version also has minimal latency.

That's what I was thinking. Especially since it was $10 at Plugin Boutique a couple of times previously and Audiority does 50% off sales pretty frequently.

Tim Henson / Cory Wong / Plini / Nolly / (believe it or not) Gojira would probably fit the bill. Since they're on sale at Easter and Black friday, it seems a lot of people just pick up one or two and then wait for the next sale to add to the collection.

I don't think you can use them without a compatible Antelope interface, their stuff is powered by DSP technology branded Synergy Core which seems to make use of a combination of ARM DSP and FPGA chips, and to use them conveniently in your DAW via a plugin you have to get their "afx2daw" bridge which costs $199. I'm surprised it's not included for free.

They are top notch quality. Amp room is OK, some people love it, but Line 6 Helix, Mercuriall and Neural DSP are at another level for me. Otto Audio II II II II as well. Of these, Line 6 Helix and Mercuriall you still need to know what you're doing, but Neural and Otto Audio are almost impossible to make sound bad. There's no "meh". Amplitube and Th-U play at the same level as Amp Room and the PA (older Nembrini) stuff. Ok, but nothing to fax home about. Its very easy to get into "meh" territory with them, maybe because there's so many options and it's so easy to get it set up poorly, but to my ears the options just don't sound as good even at their best. I'm still learning guitar so I'm no pro these are just my opinions from demoing or owning these and geeking out over guitar tone at the expense of getting better at playing, lol. I think if you haven't demoed any Neural DSP you really owe it to yourself to. They're a joy to use. If I was doing it over I'd have skipped Amplitube and Th-U and bought gradually into Neural DSP with the money I spent on them.

I tried it, but it conflicted with the CREATE40 code.
